Changelog:

25.0.86 (2019-07-30)

Changed: Slovak translation updated (thanks Peter Lukac).
Fixed: Panel - Cover art was not loading when playing certain streams, like Radio Paradise.
Changed: Improved XMLTV channel parsing so different xmltv files can be accommodated. This should fix the EPG123 channel number issue.
Changed: The socket write timeout is set on a per-file served basis to the duration of the file + some padding.

25.0.85 (2019-07-29)

NEW: Added Options > Tree & View > Advanced > Reset window position settings to reset the placement of windows.
Changed: Made the default height of options taller.
Changed: The socket write timeout to prevent hung sockets introduced in 25.0.81 (30 seconds) was too small for devices that have large buffers resulting in stopped playback in the middle of a track. Set it to 300 seconds.

25.0.84 (2019-07-29)

Changed: Re-implemented TV channel to xmltv ID matching routine for DVB channels as well as OpenCABLE and STB channels. The more elaborate methods hopefully will improve matching accuracy, especially for DVB channels.
NEW: Added the option to stop after a delay (for going to sleep). Look at Player > More Stop.
Fixed: Mixing 7.1 surround channel in 2.1 or 3.1 output mode could result in some channel being lost, instead of being downmixed properly.
Changed: The WASAPI and DirectSound output plugins will try to preserve the channel layout selected in Output Format instead of only going by channel count.
Changed: When a TV channel is being watched on a client using a server tuner, and the user enters a new channel number using a remote control or keyboard, the client will request the server to serve the new channel.
Changed: Tuned the show and hide times for menus so they work better on some systems.
Changed: Panel - Added a sign out button to the Cloudplay page.
Changed: Updated to Monkey's Audio 4.81.
Changed: Update RadioParadise cover art retreival URL
Fixed: XMLTV EPG loading did not handle 4-digit date (year-only date) correctly, resulting in empty date field.
Changed: DLNA: If we are controlling a zone check it's state on 5 second intervals even if it's not the current zone (was 20 secs).
Changed: DLNA: For gapless playback using SetNextAVTransportURI send the next track near the end of the current playing track instead of near the beginning. This appears to help with some renderers that get confused with their track buffering code (Volumio)
NEW: DLNA: Added a controller option to ignore other controllers (for misbehaving renderers).
Fixed: DLNA: Retrieve initial volume for a renderer (was always 0 before playback started).
NEW: You can select a maximum play bitrate for Cloud Play files from the Play Doctor options menu (defaults to 1500Kbps).
Fixed: Customizing the columns of a parent view would reset the columns of a child view.
